Installation
edit- Download and move the extracted
LinkSuggestfolder to yourextensions/directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/LinkSuggest - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'LinkSuggest' );
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
edit- $wgLinkSuggestFromNamespaces
Array that defines a list of namespaces to get suggestions from if you don't type a namespace.
Default value:
$wgLinkSuggestFromNamespaces = [ NS_MAIN ];
Adding namespaces to this list will cause LinkSuggest to load suggestions from pages on those namespaces, when you don't type the namespace.
This cause suggestions to get pages "Apple" and "Project:Apple" if you type "Appl" and $wgLinkSuggestFromNamespaces is [ NS_MAIN, NS_PROJECT ].
